"A child who reads is a child who dreams."

对待别人的标准，不是他们有多坏，而是你自己有多好。

The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.

你必须准备好受苦并享受这种痛苦。

天地没有偏爱，视万物如草扎的狗；圣人没有偏爱，视百姓如草扎的狗。（引自《道德经》，萧鼎在《诛仙》中化用）

The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor to find much fun in life.

智慧总是在它不再有任何用处时才降临到我们身上。
